Middle Eastern Lentil Soup image

Known in the Middle East as Chorbat el Ads, this is a 'cooks-itself', hearty, delicious soup.

Provided by bc

Time 50m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbsp oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups of red/yellow lentils
8 cups of chicken/vegetable stock
1 tsp turmeric
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley
Juice of half a lemon

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pan and gently fry the chopped onions for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped garlic, turmeric and cumin and continue cooking for a few minutes more.
  • Stir in the lentils, add the stock and cook for 35 minutes. Stir several times during cooking, especially towards the end, to prevent lentils from sticking to base of pan.
  • Toss in parsley, stir in lemon juice and leave to cook for 2-3 minutes more.
  • No blending is necessary unless you want it really smooth.
  • Serve with chunks of crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different greens. There are many different types of greens that can be used in this soup, so feel free to use what you have on hand or what you like the best.
  • Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become mushy.
  • Add the lemon juice at the end of cooking. This will help to brighten the flavors of the soup and prevent the lentils from becoming discolored.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. This will make your soup even more delicious and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This non-fat Middle Eastern greens and lentil soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite Middle Eastern flavors. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's a great way to stay warm on a cold day. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
